DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Magnificat

Lent Ember Days - Fri

This Magnificat antiphon for Lenten Ember Friday draws from John 5:11, the healing at Bethesda: 'He that made me whole, he said to me: Take up thy bed and walk in peace.' The command to take up one's bed and walk symbolizes the soul's liberation from sin through Christ's healing power. The Friday fast intensifies the penitential character while proclaiming Christ's restorative mercy.

LATINE
Qui me sanum fecit, ille mihi praecepit: Tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula in pace.
ENGLISH
He that made me whole he said to me: Take up thy bed and walk in peace.
